The template source is being compiled into PHP code. Normally this is done automatically once each time after the template was modified unless you disable automatic compiling with compile_check = false (can be used increase speed, when the templates are stable) or force_compile = true which will force compiling each time the page is called.

The compiled template does render the final HTML output which gets displayed. If you enable caching the HTML output gets cached and is used for output until the cache_lifetime expires.
